Looks real good 👍

It makes sense. I’m not sure really, it’d be interesting to know if factory equipped booster trucks had different firewalls, my guess is no And looking at your pics again, your boosted pedal assembly is WAY different from the non-boosted. As in, no cam mechanism for extra leverage on the clutch

Glad the thread was helpful. I’ve never seen a boosted assembly actually installed so I can’t help much there. All I can say is that the non-boosted version the linkage is essentially a “cam” and the pedal feel on a stock clutch is very light. It’s easy to push it in and hold it, lighter than...

I had mine controlled by the ECM so it was cycling based on engine temps, probably similar to the Sniper setup. The fan is pulling nearly 23 amps (at least mine was) running all out. With a variable controller like the AutoCool, you get a “soft start” so no big amperage spikes on your electrical...

That’s the exact same radiator and fan I installed for the 6.0 LS, it’s kept it cool. Hopefully your filler neck is straight, mine was so crooked I had to cut it off and re-weld it. The fan is great but it sounds like a small plane taking off when it’s running, pretty noisy. I installed an...

Ok, might be a long term solution 🤷‍♂️ Any chance that the boots off the spark plugs are straight instead of 90°? If so, you “might” be able to use a factory LS spark plug heat shield. They are just a hollow tube of thin metal and will be in junkyards everywhere.

Have you tried ceramic wires? I used to burn #8 on my old Vortec with the AA block hugger headers. Bought a set of ceramic high temp (expensive) and never had another problem. And the ceramic boots were actually touching the headers a bit. I’m not a big fan of denting nice headers to clear plug...

Ha! Walked right into that one 🤦‍♂️

That was my thinking too. It’s free off the brakes but impossible to turn with pressure on it. Could be getting old too, it’s been on there a long time, might be time to swap it out

Update: the brakes are FANTASTIC. Best brakes I’ve ever had on the 40 in 25 years. Need to bed the Wilwood pads in a bit more then just run them. There is most certainly much higher line pressures. I have a mechanical in-line hydraulic parking brake which worked fine before. Now I can’t even...

Thx, that’s great info. I’ll remove the filter on my low pressure return line, it’s likely a restriction. And probably go back to a factory pulley. I’ll call PSC next week, get the pump set back and see what they say. I also want to make sure the pump is compatible with the hydroboost. I know...

I’ve been running Currie joints 14+ years. Probably 20,000 miles at least. Hard off-road and lots of highway time. I’ve only needed to rebuild ONE. They are solid and make zero noise, I just keep them greased

I frankly don’t know WHAT is going on with the steering pumps lately. I ran a PSC for 13 years before it wore out. This one lasted 1/2 a day. Stock one lasted 1/2 a day 6 months ago I’ll send this one back to PSC. I have to wonder if the PSC under drive pulley I’m running on it is just too much...

And this was the end of the PSC pump. It’s hard to tell how steep this is. It is STEEP. With very soft late season snow and mud
